Definition

Logical linking of the hit list from searches in a search sequence.

Use

The search framework enables you to define search sequences and to specify logical links for the hit lists. The hit list of the last search (new hit list) is linked with the previous total hit list (old hit list).

The old and the new hit lists can each be of a different table type. You therefore need to specify comparison fields for the search sequence, whose field contents are checked when the links are made. These comparison fields must be in all hit lists of a search sequence.

Example

• Replacement (new hit list replaces the old one)
• Logical AND link (intersection of new and old hit list)
• Logical OR link (union of new and old hit list)
• Old difference quantity (in old hit list but not in the new one)
• New difference quantity (in new hit list but not in the old one)
